Demand Management Framework
As part of Colorado’s Demand Management Feasibility Investigation (see Work Plan) led by the Colorado Water Conservation Board (CWCB), this document includes a Demand Management Framework focusing on various issues associated with a potential Demand Management program.
While reviewing, note that the following Demand Management Framework draft is:
• For a potential Demand Management program that would involve temporary, voluntary, and compensated reductions in consumptive water use pursuant to the Demand Management Storage Agreement.
• Not a Demand Management program, but rather a tool for discussion regarding a potential program, which is not a foregone conclusion.• Designed to be iterative, and there will likely be multiple updated versions released as the discussion progresses. • Designed to show a broad range of implementation options, without showing preference for any given option. • Set up using a range from A to C, designed to roughly correlate with level of complexity for the various implementation options. These
designations do not correlate with any value judgments about which option may be best. • Not intended to represent any commitments or guarantees regarding viability of a program design. For example, some options
presented may have budgetary or other constraints.• Intended to be used as a tool for discussion across Colorado about what may work and what may not work in a potential Demand
Management program from varying perspectives, and any information gathered throughout this process is intended to assist CWCB in determining whether Demand Management may be achievable, worthwhile, and advisable from Colorado’s perspective.
• Not intended to represent any position of the CWCB or the State of Colorado regarding the feasibility of Demand Management.
